Nice even light throughout. Very cool capture!

I only wish the left wing of the upper avocet was up like the right. Not much you could have done though.

Great job on capturing this amazing behavior, Glenn. Water and BG are very pleasing. Love the mating pose and the near wing on the male. An outstretched far wing would have put this one in a league of its own.

Excellent interaction and pose, nice details and light too that shows off their breeding plumage

[Ian Wilson]

Another splendid capture of mating waders. All looks good to me. Bravo!

Looks great Glenn and I love the poses and colors on this shot. Nice feather detail and exposure control too. Cant wait to get out there this weekend to hopefully catch a shot like this. Well done

Spectacular moment with absolutely super colour pallet. Wonderful lights, great low angle and composition.

Regards,
Satish.

Love the soft light, the beautiful underwing detail, and your angle to the birds. Lower if possible would have been better. I am almost never a fan of boxy crops....

[Iain Barker]

Great detail and pose. Love the colours on these birds.

Thanks Marina, I have another frame with both wings up that I will post as a comparison

What a super capture. Nice light and a great moment. Not to worry about the left wing. look at the great position of the right wing.
